    I've been playing this since release, and I still to this day believe that it is the best turn-base game I've played. The Grand Campaign is something I still play to this day and the Gates of Troy expansion adds enough new maps. The game also has some ability to Mod.

    taking into account that it was created by less than half a dozen people (visit the company website sometime), this is really phenomanal. The two lacking parts are that one cannot build cities, which is ofset by the fact that it is meant to mimic the area as closely as possible, and the lack of battle-field control.

    Excellent turn based strategy game, much improved by recent patch to improve play-balance issues. Multiplayer has autosave save game facility

    Spartan's 3D battles look great, and the freer camera control give you a new perspective on hoplite warfare. [Sept 2004, p.74]

    Underdone graphics and sound that does everything except what it should dampen the already uninspired, copycat gameplay.

    There are so many areas that this game could have improved upon, such as the graphics and the sound, to make it a better overall game. While the game is fun, there are much better TBS games to spend you hard earned money on.
